TILSWALL HVLP Electric Paint Spray Gun

Product Information

Specifications

• Intended Use: Suitable for water and solvent-based paints, finishes, primers, 2-component paints, clear finishes, automotive finishes, staining sealers, and wood sealer preservatives
• Not Suitable for Use: Alkali and acidic paints

Product Usage Instructions

Preparing the Coating Material
Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer. Material to be sprayed should always be strained to remove any impurities in the paint that may enter and clog the system.

Thinning Chart

Note:
Stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring and fill into the canister.

Spray Pattern Adjustment
There is a different spray pattern based on whether the nozzle is set to horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Use the horizontal and vertical adjustment of the nozzle to create uniform ink coverage. We recommend standing 10-30 cm away from the wall or object you’re painting and spraying in a square pattern to ensure you cover the entire surface without missing any spots. First, spray from left to right and back again using the vertical setting. Then, repeat the movement with the horizontal setting from top to bottom. Always spray parallel to the wall and start at the source of light.

Optimal Spray Volume Test
Test out the optimal spray volume on a small patch of the surface to be painted before starting to paint the wall or other object with the spray gun for the first time. Once everything has been set up correctly, the spray pattern should be even, cover the entire surface, and be run-free.

Maintenance and Cleaning
If you encounter any issues during usage, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No coating material emerges from the nozzle:
  • Nozzle is clogged
  • The feed tube is clogged
  • The material volume setting is turned too far to the downside(-)
  • The feed tube is loose
  • No pressure builds up in a container
  • The viscosity of the coating material is too high
• Coating material drips from the nozzle:
  • Nozzle is loose
  • Nozzle is worn
  • The coating material is assembled at the air cap, nozzle, or needle
  • The viscosity of the coating material is too high
  • The material volume is too large
• Atomization is too coarse:
  • Nozzle is contaminated
  • The air filter is heavily soiled
  • Too little pressure builds up in a container
• Clean, tighten, change, or adjust accordingly based on the specific issue encountered.

FAQ

• Q: Can I use alkaline paints with this spray gun?
  A: No, alkaline paints are not suitable for use with this spray gun.

• Q: How should I clean the spray gun after usage?
  A: Clean the spray gun by following the maintenance and cleaning instructions provided in the user manual.

• Q: What is the recommended distance to stand from the surface being painted?
  A: We recommend standing 10-30 cm away from the wall or object you’re painting for optimal results.

Intended Use

You can work on anything from log cabins to living room walls and decorative projects with a spray gun. Other common uses include lacquering and glazing furniture or garden fences. However, be careful as the fine mist can land anywhere. That means a spray gun is best suited to outdoor projects. If you are going to use a spray gun indoors then you need to cover up everything that you are not looking to paint. A spray gun allows you to work on almost any material or surface, including wood, walls with different wallpapers, metal, concrete, and brick or stone walls. Of course, you’ll have to pick a suitable paint or lacquer, depending on the base surface.

Our tip:

• Use a protective mat to cover the floor instead of a plastic sheet. This will prevent anything from slipping, sliding, or floating up in an uncontrolled way.
• A spray gun isn’t suitable for very small surfaces, spot repairs, or for large house facades.

Coating Materials – Suitable for Use
Water and solvent-based paints, finishes, primers, 2-component paints, clear finishes, automotive finishes, staining sealers, and wood sealer preservatives.

Coating Materials – Not Suitable for Use
Alkali and acidic paints.

Use

Preparing the Coating Material

• Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. See the chart lower down in the article for information on if and by how much you’ll need to dilute the spray material.
• Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.
• Note: The material to be sprayed should always be strained to remove any impurities in the paint that may enter and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give poor performance and a poor finish.

Thinning chart:

The material flash point must be 70°F (21 °C) or higher.

• Hold the test cup up and measure the time in seconds until the liquid empties out. This time is called “Run out Time in Seconds”.
• Note: Stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring and filling the canister.

Assembly

1. Insert the cord coupler into the gun outlet.
   Note: The coupler is designed undetachable. Do not try to detach the coupler.

2. Unscrew the container from the spray gun.

3. Aligning suction tube.

   • When working on lying objects: turn the suction tube forward.
   • Spraying work when working on overhead objects: Turn the suction tube rearwards.

4. Place the container on a sheet of paper, pour in the prepared coating material, and screw the container tightly onto the spray gun.

5. Put the machine down on a level surface. Otherwise, the machine could tip over!

6. Adjust the spray setting on the spray gun.

There is a different spray pattern based on whether the nozzle is set to horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

• Use the horizontal and vertical adjustment of the nozzle to create uniform ink coverage.
• We recommend standing 10-30 cm away from the wall or object you’re painting and spraying in a square pattern to ensure you cover the entire surface without missing any spots. First, spray from left to right and back again using the vertical setting. Then, repeat the movement with the horizontal setting from top to bottom.
• Always spray parallel to the wall and start at the source of light.
• Test out the optimal spray volume on a small patch of the surface to be painted before starting to paint the wall or other object with the spray gun for the first time. Once everything has been set up correctly, the spray pattern should be even, cover the entire surface and be run-free.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Turn the machine off. Activate the trigger guard so that the coating material in the spray gun flows back into the container.
2. Unscrew the container. Empty any remaining coating material back into the material tin.
3. Pre-clean the container and feed tube with a brush.
4. Pour solvent or water into the container. Screw the container back on. Use only solvents with a flashpoint over 21 °C.
5. Turn on the machine and spray the solvent or water into a container or a cloth.
6. Repeat the above procedure until the solvent or water emerging from the nozzle is clear.
7. Turn the machine off.
8. Then empty the container. Always keep the container seal free of coating material residue and check for damage.
9. Press down the quick-release button and pull out the front part of the spray gun. Clean it thoroughly.
10. Clean the outside of the spray gun and container with a cloth soaked in solvent or water.
11. Unscrew the union nut and remove the air cap and nozzle. Clean the air cap and nozzle with a brush and solvent or water.

Caution!
Never clean the nozzle or air holes in the spray gun with sharp metal objects.
